A vague silhouette of Sapphire, the Reincarnation of Athena in this Generation (Aria is supposed to be the reincarnation of Athena but she was killed by Mars in the 1st Arc of Saint Seiya Omega), appeared on the round table in the meeting room beside Athena’s abode in Sanctuary. Seated are Genya Arikado, Julius Belmont, Yoko Belnaldes (Hammer chose to sit it out and he is guarding the Aries temple with the others), The Hero Avan, The Pope Scion (The Pope of Sanctuary and the Church, Previous Aries Saint), Libra Genbu, Gemini Integra, Capricorn Ionia, Leo Mycenae, Cancer Schiller, Virgo Fudo, Pisces Amor and Scorpio Sonia, leaving the others (Aries Kiki, Taurus Aldebaran and Aquarius Tokisada) to guard the Aries Temple to prevent enemies from encroaching upon the Sanctuary and the 12 Temples.

Those present in the meeting tasked the Silver Saints, Senior Heroes as well as the Forces of the Church to roam around the world and gather all of the Bronze and Steel Saints, Adventurers, Heroes and Vampire Hunters in order to form an army that will attack the Castle of the Dark Lord in Europe. It was agreed upon that Athena Sapphire will temporarily take down a portion of the barrier that she erected previously. This will allow the combined Athena’s army, Heroes Army and the Forces of the Church and Vampire Hunters to march towards the castle of the Dark Lord.

Avan already issued a summons via his voice talisman to all of the World’s heroes to join them in this crusade (a voice transmission was already sent to the other divisions of the Yin Yang Corps, hence they were already making their way to the Imperial Kingdom [Leona’s Kingdom] even before the meeting).

On the large grounds of Athena’s Colossus, the Hero Avan has already prepared a large scale transportation spell which can immediately transport the main army combatants from Sanctuary to the heart of the Imperial Kingdom. Sapphire will be leaving a portion of her power in order to not let the barrier covering the whole of Europe disappear during the gathering of their army.

Koga and his third division of the Yin Yang Corps where also helping in preparation for the attack. They got back just in time after parting ways with the 1st division led by Kuro and the 2nd division led by Hyunckel after getting the blessing of the Mother Dragon. Kuro and his team were able to successfully awaken their Saint Stones into Saint Cloths, allowing them to maximize their 7th sense in unleashing their true powers.

Helpers from the Belmont Clan and the church are also present in the Sanctuary, wherein they are applying blessings to the Saint Cloths in order for them to be more effective against the undead army of the Dark Lord. Head Priests as well as Senior Vampire Hunters can be seen providing Holy Blessings to Steel Saints and Adventurers, while members of the Belnaldes Clan can be seen preparing numerous magical arrays that contain magical healing properties.

Genya, with the help of Yoko and his 5 familiars, completely removed the seal on Crissaegrim, enabling him to become a fully-powered Alucard once more. He donned his complete Alucard Set (armor, gloves, boots, cape, shield except for the sword). He now has in his possession the strongest sword of ancient times which can allow him to rival the speed of the Gods and Deities.

Julius, on the other hand, was gathering his bearing as he was being blessed by the priests of the Church who are part of the army. He has comprehended the life experiences of his ancestor Trevor Belmont via the latter’s Eye-Patch, allowing his Vampire Hunter prowess to rise exponentially. He completed numerous preparations as he stored ample amounts of Holy Salt, Holy Axes, Holy Water, Holy Daggers and other Vampire Hunter weapons. He also prepared the 1st Holy Cross of his Ancestor, Richter, as he can invoke a more powerful version of his Giant Holy Cross attack with it. Together with Trevor’s Eye Patch, the Vampire Killer Whip attachment and the numerous blessing he received, Julius can dispose of Boss-Level monsters efficiently than before.

Hammer, on one side, is also preparing numerous weapons like swords, stakes, potions, holy water and the like to aid Athena’s Saints, Forces of the Church, Vampire Hunters and the World heroes in their march. As usual he is thinking of opening a shop on the outskirts of the battlefield for the aforementioned ones to replenish themselves.

Starting on the Aries Temple, Kiki casted his Crystal Wall aided by the Minakitoru spell of Avan. Thus, it is comprised of 5 layers of Crystal Wall that will prevent other forces from entering Sanctuary. Kiki and Avan did this for all of the 12 Temples and even the Pope’s chamber, in order to ensure that Sanctuary will not be invaded by the Dark Forces when they were not around.

“We will need at least 1 more week in order to complete the preparations.”

“Our forces are still not enough.”

“Milady, I have a bad feeling about Vearn and Soma’s passiveness.”

“I feel that they have already planned this far ahead” Avan said, with a serious expression.

A grave expression could be seen on Genya, Julius, Yoko and Sapphire’s faces. Seeing this, The Pope interjected.

“I fear that our powers are not enough in the upcoming war.”

“I suggest that we give our Gold Saints a power-up.”

“We need to channel the Sun’s energy into the Eleven Gold Cloths here at Athena’s Colossus.”

“We will let our 11 Gold Saints here to bathe in the Sunlight with the assistance of Athena Sapphire’s Cloth and Staff.”

“They should be able to gain enlightenment and attain the half-a-step Eight Sense.”

“Only then can they hope to stand a chance against the Judges of the Underworld.”

Genya, Avan and Sapphire nodded simultaneously. Sapphire immediately issued a call to her 11 Gold Saints (Kuro is not included since he is in the Imperial Kingdom).

“To my Gold Saints, heed my call!”

“Gather at Athena’s Colossus at once!”
